Ingraham pushes for an end to all Muslim immigration

Right-wing radio host Laura Ingraham announced on her program Monday that she’s long believed the United States should shut down all immigration from central Asia and any nation with a majority Muslim population.

Going even further, Ingraham said she’s not sure why the U.S. allows people from central Asia either, particularly ethnic Chechnens, two of whom have been identified as the Boston bombing suspects.

“I would submit that people shouldn’t be coming here as tourists from Chechnya after 9/11,” Ingraham said. “Dagistan, Checnya, Kergystan, uh-uh. As George Bush would say, ‘None of them stans.’”

Because the Boston Marathon bombing happened right as the Senate prepares to take up immigration reform, some conservatives who want the immigration system to become more restrictive have cited the incident as cause for a rethink.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in particular said on Friday that the attack is reason enough to put immigration reform on hold.

“How can individuals evade authority and plan such attacks on our soil? How can we beef up security checks on people who wish to enter the United States?” he asked. “How do we ensure that people who wish to do us harm are not eligible for benefits under the immigration laws, including this new bill before us?”

Grassley later backed off the implication that he was using the Boston bombings to jam up immigration reform, insisting, “I didn’t say that!” during a committee hearing on Monday.

Please. NO ONE from a former Soviet republic was on anyone's radar as far as terrorism goes until the past week. Ingraham is latching onto this most recent meme solely for the purposes of expressing her dislike of immigration in general, as well as a general xenophobia towards "outsiders." Chechnens, Russians or whatever ... the specific title is irrelevant as long as they can be labeled "Muslim foreigners."

I don't mind them immigrating here but I wish the women would discard their burqa tents. Groups of them show up every week at our local farmer's market and they keep banging into the tables and tent poles because they can't see where they're walking. Last week two burqa'd women knocked over a table holding boxes of heirloom tomatoes. It was a mess. The man with them didn't even try to help them up or clean up the mess.

On one hand, I'm fine with immigration and think we should throw open the borders to anyone who's willing to pay a big entrance tax and then all the taxes we're subject to, accepting all the responsibilities along with the rights. On the other hand, we have enough problems with the Xtians and their book of fairy tales; why invite even more extreme fanatics whose attitudes, beliefs and religious "laws" will only divide our nation (further) and specifically bring pain and suffering to gays, women, children and animals? Religious nuts always promise to assimilate, and they never do. And then we're stuck attempting to respect their beliefs while they do everything they can to marginalize and establish institutional discrimination against everyone unlike themselves. It is a quandary. If only we had some real leadership on this issue, and not all the predictable rhetoric from the right and feeble, jelly-splined defense from the left.

Considering we had a ten-year occupation of predominantly Islamic countries people in the U.S. are abysmally ignorant about Muslims and Islam. Here are a few fun facts.

Islam is a religion. Anyone can become a Muslim just by converting to Islam (ever heard of Malcom X and Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam?) Therefore, the idea of banning Muslims is absurd on the face of it and frankly offensive in a country in which religious freedom is constitutionally guaranteed.

Not all Arabs are Muslims.

Not all Muslims are Arabs. The majority of Muslims are non-Arab. Iranians, for instance, aren't Arabs but Persians. There are tons of Muslims in Asia, like the ones the Buddhist monks in Myanmar are currently persecuting, and in the former Soviet Union, like the Boston bombers, and in Europe (the Ottoman Empire, which was a major world power up until the twentieth century, operated out of Turkey.)

So to treat Muslims as though they're part of this big colony of ants who operate robotically in unison is just anus-ignorant. The fact that the entire Muslim world didn't rise up and crush us when we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq should be proof enough that they aren't. Horrible as it was the Boston bombing was nothing compared to what people in Afghanistan and Iraq have suffered since we "liberated" them.

Well, of course she's 100% wrong. America doesn't discriminate based on religion.

When a mass shooting happens here, we have endless debate on what in our society led to it and what we can do to stop it (all pretty fruitless, but at least there's a conversation). When someone kills innocents for Allah, all you hear from the Muslim community is complaints about the backlash and various conspiracy theories. Never thoughtful discourse about how to reverse the trend.

R45, I'd disagree. The problem with the Muslim religion is in the way it's set up. Muhammad's word is indisputable and must be followed to the letter. This creates a religion that is inherently fundamentalist. Other religions at least have some pretense that their sacred texts can be examined and debated. The Muslim religion doesn't permit that.

Now, I think she's a moron and a ridiculous person. Most Muslims aren't interested in blowing things up. But there is this macho fundie aspect to the faith that really sets off young men, and that has to be looked at.

Personally, I'd ban all immigration at this point, for our sake and theirs. And that includes Europeans and anyone else who wants to relocate here. We have a huge population of jobless and underemployed people, and things are getting worse. To bring other people in to compete for the few jobs there are is absurd.

R52 has it right on the money. There have been extensive studies done on this.

The reason why Europe has problems with Islam is because immigrants are never fully integrated into society there. Why? Because the concept of British, German, French, Spanish (and so on) is a specific set of identity markers that effectively exclude people not like. You really can't separate being French or Spanish or even Italian from being Catholic, for instance. There is no room for movement or inclusion, which is why immigrants (muslims in particular) feel excluded from larger society. In effect, they are. You can either be French or muslim, but not both, and a muslim can't really be French anyway because they're not white and don't share 1,000 years of Gallic history.

Canada and the US is particular are very different because we have inclusive cultures - what it means to be Canadian or American is much more fluid. That is precisely why you don't see suburbs filled with disaffected muslims as you do in Europe. In fact, Dearborn MI is quite prosperous, no?

To agree with R52, native born muslims in the west will never really be a problem. You would think that one disaffected minority (gays) wouldn't be calling for the mass deportation of another.

Al-Taqiya – the Islamic art of lying and deceiving non-Muslims in the cause of Islam – is an age-old Islamic practice, used since the days of Prophet Muhammad. Despite being widely discussed Muslims continue to practice Taqiya even in explaining what Taqiya is.

Quran 3:28 permits pretending friendship with infidels: “Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination.”

I agree with R88, though I disagree with the vehemence here towards all Muslims.

People here have no problem bashing the Jewish or Christian religions, but will not tolerate the slightest criticism of the Muslim religion. It does seem like there are a couple of Muslim people here who won't tolerate criticism of their religion, which only reinforces the feelings people already have.

I think the Muslim faith is inherently fundamentalist, and that's a serious problem.

Then it gets turned into a "racial" issue, even though that has nothing to do with it. Some liberals have really gone overboard in that regard, which is bizarre given how right-wing most Muslim people in the world are.

Even here...I did some canvassing for a gay marriage equality vote, and one housing project we went into had primarily Muslim people. And over and over they made it very clear they would never support gay rights because of their faith. And it was consistent...even people who supported Obama and the Democrats were clear the being gay is against their faith and they'd never support it.

I think ALL immigration should stop, not just Muslims. But at this point we need to stop defending this one religion because of the 9/11 backlash. If we can condemn other religions for fostering prejudice and hate, then we must condemn it with the Muslim religion too. Particularly since Muslims belong to a religion that is set up to be fundamentalist, and so many Muslims have no interest in being a part of any society r culture other than their own.

Yes, R113, America should have never invaded Iraq. But calling others stupid for pointing out the fact that the current violence there is done by different branches of Islam is nothing but stupid. There is a real war going on between the Sunnis and Shias, because the Quran calls for the killing of hypocrites, those who do not follow Islam as is. Both sects feel their way is the right way which makes the others the hypocrites. According to their religion it is their duty to kill the hypocrites, add to that people’s desire for power, and you get ruthless violence. America never invaded Syria or Bahrain, for example, but this violent conflict is happening there as well.

America at this point is nothing but a nation ruled by infidels which Islamism can’t take on by force right now so they spread their brain-washing nonsense in other ways. Young and frustrated men are the perfect target for that.

Islam as a religion has its problems, particularly in the fanaticism that it engenders.

But that's not really the issue here. What many of you are advocating for is not only stopping all muslim immigration, but also the deportation of muslims who are US citizens. How do you prove that somebody is a muslim? Blacklist entire countries? Like Turkey, which is mostly secular? How about Lebanon, which is majority muslim, but also has a large Christian population? Now those Russians sneak in, some of whom are muslims. France is also 10% muslim now, so we should probably stop all migration from France just in case. And definitely Indonesia, which is virtually 100% muslim, and certainly India, because you just never know.

Most of Europe is still fascist. People like to pretend it's this enlightened society, but some of the shit that goes on even at a soccer match would never be tolerated in the US. Immigrants are not allowed to integrate into society. There are limitation on how far they can go. I may have my issues with this country, but what I do know is it doesn't matter what you are as long as you're willing to work your ass off. I have a Muslim friend who is a doctor. He, along with a couple of other relatives (also doctors) opened up a health clinic in SC of all places. Even down there, when you come face to face with people, you get over your idiotic prejudices. It's easy to vilify a population four times the US when you already hate them.

We have American morons who aren't satisfied unless they're scapegoating someone. They'll ignore the hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by guns and instead choose to magnify the influence and crimes of minorities. One white guy took out 20 children plus 7 adults, yet they move on. A white guy in a theater took out 12, they moved on. A Congresswoman was shot and five others killed, they moved on. They won't look to take away the constitutional rights of every white guy or gun owner, yet some of the so-called "liberals" on DL turn into mush-brained idiots who lose their ability to think logically.

When you're agreeing with the rightwing on anything, particularly scapegoating, then don't think you have any business calling yourself a liberal. It's also incredibly childish to take that to mean we're defending some religion. You do not blame millions of people for what some do.

For hundreds of years, anyone who argued for preservation and/or protection was shouted down and labeled anti-American.

I'm not opposed to Muslims believing whatever they like. Or anyone else for that matter. But there has to be a modicum of common sense in that regard. The Muslim faith is set up to be fundamentalist, and that is an enormous problem, particularly given that young macho men use their religion to justify acts like the one that just took place in Boston.

R168 makes a good point. It took us hundreds of years to get to a place, culturally and politically, where women and gay people have some rights under the law. I do question the wisdom of bringing in a large group of fundamentalist conservatives who think women should be subjugated, and gay people hanged. Any sane person would.

But you phoney pseudo-liberals are all about knee jerk reactions to complex issues, and you're every bit as bad as Ingraham.

R166...one thing...you represent the death of critical thinking. For you it's all about the duality of "leftwing" and "rightwing". News flash..most issues are far more complex than that. There are nuances to every issue, and nothing is quite that simple.

No one here is actually "agreeing" with Ingraham. what people are saying is that the Muslim religion is highly problematic, and that we need to look at how we're going to deal with the level of extremism and fundamentalism that it often represents.

No one is imagining this. Women are brutally subjugated in most Islamic countries. In Iran, for example, women must contend with the morality police, and they are arrested id their attire is not considered appropriate. In Saudi Arabia, women are arrested for trying to drive cars. In Iran, gay men are hanged. Including teenagers. This is THEIR tolerance, acceptance, and mercy. Am I concerned about fundies from these countries emigrating here? Absolutely. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to stop being concerned because you're more worried about anti-religion "bigotry" than I am about attacks on women and LGBT people.

R161...it's interesting that you're taking quotes from different posts and treating them as if they were from one. But here's the thing..NO ONE here is defending Mormons and other Christians. Not one person. As far as your point about it only being extremists in Iran or Pakistan who harm gay people, CLEARLY you don't read the newspaper. The government HANGS gay people in Iran, in the public square. The majority of people there SUPPORT this.

Also, makes sense that Ingrate would want to end muslim immigration, since they now lean Democratic - from a 2011 Pew poll:

----Most Muslim Americans either identify as Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party. Nearly half (48%) of U.S. Muslims say they feel that the GOP is unfriendly toward them. By contrast, just 7% say the Democratic Party is unfriendly toward Muslim Americans. ---

In contrast to 2000, when 72% of Muslim-Americans voted for George Bush.

Bottom line: the more people like Ingrate bloviate how much they hate muslims, the more it inures to the benefit of the Democratic Party - even just by default; i.e., even Democrats who agree with her need do nothing - she is well-known as a Republican polemicist, and her screeching will be associated with the GOP and their party's platform.

I don't agree with many Muslim beliefs: how they treat women, how they treat people of different sexual orientations. At the same time I don't go around terrorizing Muslims, blowing up bombs and I don't push my personal beliefs onto them: religious or social. If there are Muslims that can't give the same respect to people whose beliefs differ from their own, they should not be allowed into our country. The freedom to be what you want to be and believe what you want to believe is what makes our country what it is.

New immigration laws, at this point, are not going to change anything. In Europe, many of the terrorists were second generation, meaning they were born into European culture.

The real enemy is the preachers and leaders of Islamism, but no government is yet brave enough to touch them. Nothing is going to change until a government will have the courage to close down Mosques that preach Jihad, to stop the infrastration of Islamic ideas into Colleges and Universities through “special programs” funded by Saudi Arabia and the endless “hate the Jew” campaigns, ban Sharia Law courts and most importantly, put human rights above religion.

She's wrong. The West only needs to kick out and exclude the rich Muslim boys who come here for college and stay for long periods as playboys. Let in women, but not their brothers; let in the poor and working class Muslims. Make the rich boys stay in their own fucked up countries and fix them. Maybe they'll demand and get better academic institutions, which can only benefit the less wealthy classes, and without the western pressure valve, which allows them to escape their repressive cultures by jumping on a flight, they'll be forced to improve those cultures so that they can tolerate them.

I'd also bet that most Muslim women who escape the more repressive regimes without having male handlers present wouldn't return. If we had wanted to really end the Taliban and crush those tribal structures that support it, we would have removed Afghan women and resettled them and let the men all kill each other. Much cheaper to put each of them in a nice flat and give them a Mini Cooper than to fight a fucking land war in Asia.

Well I think it's a start to limit immigration if there are threats to our country. If people cannot be tolerant of different lifestyles and religions that cause them to commit terrible, senseless acts of violence, they should NOT be able to come and live here. It needs to be ingrained in ALL cultures that human rights and the value of human life need to be put above religion. I accept all cultures, regardless or religious beliefs or lifestyle as long as someone doesn't try to impose them on me. Respect my beliefs and I will respect yours.

So odd. So xenophobic. And yet so completely consistent with our historical past. There is always a group to stereotype and cast as evil whether there is truth to it or not.

Of the millions of Muslims in the US, I wonder just how many of them are murderers and terrorists?

All because a couple of poor punks from a former Soviet satelite went crazy.

Meanwhile on April 4th an American drone killed 37 civilians including 14 children in Afganistan "by mistake", collateral damage you know in a war for what-was-it.

No matter- it is Afganistan.

No excuse for Muslim terror- or any terror for that matter, but definitely part of the problem. Keeping Muslims out of the US (which will mean deporting millions) is not remotely the answer.

Catholics, Irish, Italians, Jews, Chinese, South Asians, Mexicans and of course Muslims- the word xenophobia is just another word for bigotry, and it is historically and currently a scourge in our country- as illustrated over and over on this thread- from a bunch of homosexuals of all groups! Hah!

Muslims should not be banned from entering the US, of course not, but radical Islam needs to be condemned by all human rights supports.

Pictures speak louder than words. This is from Egypt. [b]Viewer Discretion Advised[/b] - Egyptian Islamists Sexually Attack Women Believed to Be Christian. It's only the beginning of the attack. In broad daylight, nobody came to her aid, her mother tried to protect her. The Christians there are being systemically harassed and killed, among other human rights violations that the Muslim Brotherhood has been trying to impose.
